Solid Scientific Foundation
A product of three years of research and investigation, GR2 Control is
solidly based on the latest scientific data regarding weight-loss.
After
researching all existing data suggesting a link between obesity, disease,
and diet, the GNLD Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and Global Science
Network (GSN) discovered a disturbing trend. Over the past several decades
there has been an alarmingly increased intake of “insulin-inducing”
carbohydrates in the average adult’s diet. This trend was strongly
correlated with a dramatic increase in excess weight and obesity, as well
as diabetes.
Further investigation
showed that the body’s “glycaemic response” to carbohydrates (meaning
how quickly blood glucose levels rise, and in what amounts, as a result
of consuming a carbohydrate), was the culprit. High glycaemic response
diets set people up for weight gain, even when kilojoules were not excessive.
Armed with this knowledge, they concluded that if one could control his/her
glycaemic response to foods, one could control the way the body uses energy
and creates and stores fat, and possibly help avoid disease.
Glucose: A doubled-edged sword!
At the foundation of the program is an in-depth understanding of how the
body produces, uses and controls glucose. The body recognises blood glucose
as both an essential partner of energetic health and a potentially lethal
adversary as well. This is due to the fact that glucose is the basic carbohydrate
energy unit that circulates through the bloodstream to our cells. However,
glucose also has the potential to damage that same circulatory system
if levels remain too high for too long. Thus, when blood glucose levels
exceed certain predetermined upper limits, the body needs to lower those
levels rapidly. To do that it secretes insulin, which enters the bloodstream
and causes glucose to be lowered.
Glycaemic
response and overall health
As we have learned
more and more about how the body responds to carbohydrates, many leading
scientists have come to believe that specific advantages can be gained
by keeping the body’s glycaemic response as controlled as possible. Eating
a lower glycaemic response diet results in lower, less dramatic elevations
of blood glucose. This in turn means less insulin needs to be secreted.
Secreting less insulin helps promote stable blood sugar control because
the body’s ability to make insulin is not continually overtaxed. Additionally,
secreting less insulin is associated with more heart-healthy blood lipid
levels, in particular lower triglycerides and higher HDL (good) cholesterol.
Thus, it is thought that lower insulin secretion helps promote cardiovascular
system health.
 Glycaemic response and weight-loss
One of the most interesting aspects of low glycaemic response foods
is that because they are converted to glucose and enter the bloodstream
more slowly, they also provide more even and more lasting energy. Because
they cause less insulin to be secreted, blood glucose levels stay within
“safe” parameters and leave the blood more gradually and over a longer
period of time. The result is a longer period of satiety (the state of
hunger satisfaction) before hunger signals return. The advantage is that
the longer one remains in satiety, the lower the amount of food that is
eaten overall.
There is
another important benefit of controlling the glycaemic response of the diet
when it comes to weight-loss. The main line of reasoning for this relates
to the “secondary” effects associated with glycaemic response events.
Whenever a
high glycaemic response event occurs, blood glucose levels exceed the
“controlled glycaemic response zone” monitored by the body’s biochemical
guard posts. When blood glucose value exceeds the upper limits of this
zone, the body responds by secreting insulin. Frequently this causes a
glycaemic “roller coaster” as blood glucose levels move from high (hyperglycaemia)
to low (hypoglycaemia).
Aside from
causing a near constant demand for insulin secretion, two important
secondary signals are sent out.
 The first signal causes the body to go into fat storage
mode. As the insulin secretions cause glucose to be cleared from the blood,
the body must have a place to store it. It can’t just leave the glucose
lying around somewhere. It must do something with this glucose. The body
is left with no choice but to convert glucose to fat and store it.
The second
signal causes fat utilisation for energy purposes to be curtailed. With
blood glucose levels running high and fat storage signals occurring, the
body knows there is no need for more energy to be provided and thus shuts
down fat utilisation for energy purposes.
If you visualise
this process as a warehouse, materials would be coming in at a more rapid
pace than they would be leaving. As you cannot stop this process, the
warehouse has no choice but to expand. In other words, with your body
as the warehouse, you leave it no choice but to grow larger with stored
fat.
When this
process repeats itself over and over throughout the day, week after week,
month after month, year after year, the body is predisposed to gaining
fat. It has no choice.
The Glycaemic Response Control Advantage
The
advantages of Glycaemic Response Control (GR2 Control) to the average
person in everyday life are obvious, and significant. When it comes to
weight-loss, however, it can make a huge difference.
 By applying Glycaemic Response Control, three very
important weight-loss advantages occur.
1. By keeping
the glycaemic response within the “controlled zone,” insulin secretions
are correspondingly low, blood glucose levels are sustained over prolonged
periods as available energy, and feelings of hunger are staved off longer,
meaning fewer overall kilojoules are needed to be “comfortable.”
2. Because
blood glucose is not constantly being cleared from the blood, fat
conversion and storage are greatly reduced.
3. Because
fat storage is slowed, fat utilisation is increased.
To use the
warehouse analogy again, when energy levels in the blood are within the
“controlled zone,” the warehouse’s fat storage doors are closed, while at
the same time the fat burning doors are open. Over time, that means you
lose weight!
 We have the science to prove it!
Human Clinical Trials — GR2 Control has been tested
in a leading research facility to prove that it does help the body to
control its glycaemic response. Subjects were given
a serving of GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Shake and blood samples
were taken afterward to determine the glycaemic response the body produced
to process the drink. A mass market competitor’s weight-loss drink and
a typical breakfast were also tested in the same manner. When the results
were compared, GR2 Control’s response was consistently more stable and
lower than all of the other products that were tested.
“Real World”
Human Trials — Tested in “real world” conditions, the GR2 Control
Weight-Loss Program was used during an 8-week weight-loss trial with over
50 volunteers. Results of the trial were amazing: the group lost a total
of 275 kilograms. in only 8 weeks! In fact, one volunteer lost close to
37 kilograms. during the trial period. Volunteers reported feeling more
energetic and less hungry while on the program. Even more importantly,
they reported that the program was easy to live with on a day-to-day basis
and provided a pleasant variety of meal recommendations.
Published
Scientific Results — Results of our human clinical trials are soon to
be presented by SAB member, Dr. Arianna Carughi, at a national scientific
symposium and will then be targeted for publication in a peer-reviewed
scientific journal.
GR2
Control puts the science of Glycaemic Response to work for
you!
With GR2 Control, the GNLD Scientific Advisory Board has taken the science
of healthy weight-loss to a new level. The whole program focuses on and
utilises the latest understanding of glycaemic response to lower insulin
secretion demands, keeping you off the glycaemic 'roller coaster' and
out of the insulin trap. It provides sustained feelings of satisfaction
between meals, maintains balanced and controlled energy levels over longer
periods of time, and keeps “fat storage doors” closed and “fat burning
doors” open.
Biochemical Synergy — GR2 Control products are specifically
formulated to have a synergistic effect on the body’s mechanisms that
control and influence hunger, satiety, fullness, and fat storage and utilisation.
When all of the GR2 Control Weight-Loss Program products are used together,
they transform your body from fat storage mode, to fat burning mode.
Leading-edge
science is the basis for the entire GR2 Control program. From our unique
product formulations, to our exercise and lifestyle suggestions, GR2
Control is truly an incredible program that can help anyone who wants to
lose weight, improve health and feel better. Formulated with supervision
and input from the SAB and GSN, GR2 Control is truly on the cutting edge
of weight-loss science.
Put
the power of Glycaemic Response Control to work for weight-loss — not
against it!
That’s the GNLD
